There are more hints that the main character of the next MGS game will be Raiden, while I think it will be great to play as him I still think introducing a completely new character is better.

I had an idea of a story once for the next MGS game where Snake travels across the world to enjoy his last moment living as a normal person but not as a Snake and he comes across a boy where he takes care of him.

Snake teaches the boy everything he knows in battle despite Big Boss telling him the world would be a better of without Snake, he feels there should be a snake to stand up for Justice and fight in what he believes in after Snake teaches him everything Snake passes away and a new Snake is born to take his place where he will be working under the man who worked and helped Snake in combat Raiden where he achieved the rank of Colonel and the support of Snake's closest friend Otacon with Sunny acting as his data analysis.

Despite that the new character lets name him X doesn't feel he can take Solid Snake place and during the game he has a flashback of snake telling him things that will influence him in becoming and accepting he is the new Snake.

What do you think of this idea? please give me a feed back on what do you think about this and would it make an interesting story?

Thank you

I would love to play as Raiden again now that he's not a whiney Emo tool. Plus, I like the way the saga ended and feel that trying to intergrate someone elses story into it would be pretty hard to do without effing things up. Since Raiden is already a main stay in the story and has already starred in a game of his own I think he's just a shoe-in for the job. I just wouldn't want to see them go out of the boundaries of the story in its current state. If they do a game beyond MGS4 its gonna mean that more BS is going on, and I really like to believe that Big Boss left the world in peace.....

There will be no more Snakes. I want another Big Boss prequel, don't ever see that happening or fitting into the story. I could do with any character though, as long as it's done well and doesn't seem forced.

I am a total MGS fanatic. Its my favorite all time game franchise. I love it love it love it. But I must say this: Aside from Dead Cell the Cobra Unit was the goofiest bunch of bad guys I've ever seen. They were almost as bad as the villians in the first Metal Gear. (Shoot Gunner? lulz) Anyway, I'd like to play as the boss, but I'd hate to find out at the end of the game that she's actually........ Bridgett!!!! :lol: (okay, I promise that's the last time I do that......)

The goofiness of the Cobra Unit fit the 1960 spy movie motif that MGS3 had. So i thought they fit and worked out fine. However Shoot Gunner is just ridiculous.

But wouldn't that in fact, hurt Metal Gear? Especially if they've killed Snake off for good in every which way possible?

I never really minded playing as Raiden in MGS2, found him slightly annoying but that can be attributed to the brainwashing so ill forgive him for that. Then in 4 he basically becomes Cyborg Ninja so yea, I think having Raiden as lead in 5 would be pretty badass(sword must be mandatory) though not sure what story they'll give him since they pretty much finished his off at the end of 4.

For all you know, the next MGS could feature a female protagonist. Frankly, I wouldn't mind. :P

Grey Fox's story was already half ***ed told and pretty much ruined in Portable Ops. His name was Null, and that's what they should do with him.

Na, you can have ninja swords without it becoming a hack 'n' slash. It could play just like the rest of the series just Raiden would be more agile and would have swords. Sneak up on unsuspecting soldiers and run a blade through their head. What's not cool about that? Doing flips through the shadows to most swiftly from one place to another? They could even spend half the game with Raiden before he becomes ninja so you'd have plenty of gun play. Then half way through the game you become the cyborg and get a whole new list of awesome ninja moves. Ninja's are stealth. That's their whole thing. So there's no reason a ninja wouldn't work in a stealth game. ;)

The other posters were fine with it, they might have found the title misleading but they kept it to themselves and stickied to the topic if you have something good to say related to my post then I appreciate it if not then keep it to yourself.

if it's a sequel and if Kojima can bring back Snake then I would love to play as Snake otherwise, introduce a new character that is more of a man than Raiden.

If playing as Ninja Raiden there is no reason to hide, he is a walking catastrophe, he killed 4 GECKS on his own, why would you ever need to hide someone like that. It would make absolutely no sense, so I would like to play as Raiden pre-cyber ninja in his mission to save Sunny, there really is no reason to continue the story post MGS4. And hence no reason to introuduce a new character into the middle of the story.

Well, that's just something we'll all have to get over. Their time has passed. However, it could be a prequel. But even that could be pushing it...

Id like it to be a prequel starring either big boss, or the boss. Big Boss served in Vietnam and had many other missions other than what we have seen so I'm sure there are plenty they could explore even leading up to Outer Heaven. And the Boss is a great character and seeing her entire back story and missions would be awesome.

I want Snake, but it'd probably be Raiden, with the teaser site having thunder in the background, and Raiden saying "I am lightning, the rain transformed"

Seemed to me Kojima intended on replacing Snake since SOL. So long as Kojima doesn't ruin the franchise it should be fine.

Solid Snake or Big Boss but I guess Raiden is okay too. They are all great characters.

I do. There's actually supposed to be three more. The current one ends at midnight tomorrow night (U.S. Central time) so I guess we'll see then, won't we? I personally think another hint is gonna pop up with each timer. I predict the next one will end and another hint will be revealed Pre-e3. That one will end on the morning of e3's kick off with another hint or big reveal seperate from the teaser one during either Microsoft of Sony's presentation. And the last one will end as Kojima himself takes the stage. And all will be revealed.....
